Nah, Jeff is in his 20's for this video. If you can't hear a bit of what he's carried forward in his newer songs on this, then you're not listening hard enough. Summerteeth is the biggest departure they've ever had. I love it, but if you're looking for the thing that doesn't fit, that is it.
Jeff Tweed kinda looks like and sounds like a Soul Asylum singer with short hair in this video...which makes a lot of sense, Winona would date this guy.
This shit is awesome. Yankee is their best work by far followed by summerteeth and A Ghost is born but I personally think A.M. is a better album than sky blue sky; lyrics alone. but to say this music isn't meaningful to tweedy is absurd. it was as meaningful to him when he wrote it as it still is today.
i think the person who finds this music void of meaning and unnatural is you funny7muffin. i agree with shepardpies, absurd to say that it is not meaningful to him. this is a good song, it relfects tweedy's style going back to uncle tupelo days.
agreed man. as much as i love this song and other very early ones i don't think they really found their sound until Summerteeth, which is still probably my favorite album of theirs even as great as their three albums following it were.
this band saved my life....honestly if is wasnt for some of there songs i listened to ....then i would not be here...thanx for being a special band....
still ROCKS!!

This comment has received too many negative votes show
early wilco is almost foreign for me-i dont think this kidn of music was as meaningful or natural to tweedy.
tweedy's voice also seems so much different in this video.

I do agree that A.M. was better than Sky Blue Sky. But meaningful was the wrong word for me to use.

These were great times, but I never thought this sound felt natural for Tweedy. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot broke it open.

i miss this tom petty-ish sound, their new lp is so mellow...i love 'yankee hotel foxtrot' the most i'd say.

I think that both albums are great. But to be honest, I prefer Sky Blue Sky.
